Posts like the above make me sad. I like anime, but it seems like many treat it as a status symbol and this bodes ill for the long term impact of anime in the States.
It seems like too many anime fans are only interested in bragging rights. The following are exapmles of statements that are heard far too often:
I have the rare toy.
I saw that in a Japanese theater.
I'm not into anime anymore because it's not as unigue as it used to be.
Any hardcore fan knows...
Why can't we accept anime for what it is, and fans for who they are? Because we can't, most of the posts here are short one-liners proving that the poster knows more than you, rather than content filled discusions.
It also means that we may not be able to tell our friends why we're so excited about kids entertainment. I wish "hardcore" fans would except the populaization of the medium, it can only benifit the genera.
Why would an itellegent computer want to compose music, or fall in love? A computer mind would have to deal with a completely different envionment and would strugle for different resources. An intellgent computer would not minic our "most human" activities.

You are confusing bost phase (when there are >>10^n objects all full of fuel) and re-entery phase (when there can be numerous inert decoys).
